Dear friends and colleagues,
The Chödung Karmo Translation Group is very happy to announce its latest
publication, Yael Bentor's bilingual edition/translation of Jetsün Dragpa
Gyaltsen's "Clarifying The Meaning Of The Arga And Consecration
Rituals".
Jetsün Dragpa Gyaltsen (1147-1216) was one of the five founding masters of
the Sakya school of Tibetan Buddhism. Renowned for his spiritual
accomplishments and songs of realisation, Dragpa Gyaltsen was instrumental in
developing the tantric teachings of his tradition. Among Dragpa Gyaltsen's many
writings, his explanation of the arga and consecration rituals represents an
important milestone in this genre of literature, being one of the earliest and
at the same time most influential treatments of this subject. This publication
contains the Tibetan original, translated and introduced by Yael Bentor.
